Chapter 29
I stood up from my seat not long after Aiden left. Everyone, who had been staring blankly at the door he had exited through, turned their gaze toward me.
“I’d like to try on some clothes. Is that alright, Madam?”
“Of course, Lady. But I heard you weren’t feeling well...”
“I’m fine. More importantly, may I try on that dress?”
I pointed to a dress displayed in the corner of the catalog—a simple white one with a soft beige gradient at the hem.
“Of course, but Lady, this isn’t the kind of dress typically worn to a garden party. It’s more suited for outings.”
“I like it regardless of the garden party. Is that a problem?”
“N-Not at all! Of course, you can. Please, follow me.”
Mia and Vivian, seemingly uncomfortable being left alone, rose to their feet as if to follow.
“No, you two stay here. I won’t take long.”
Caught in an awkward half-rise, they hesitated before reluctantly settling back down. Their expressions were far from pleased, but that wasn’t my concern. I had my own problems to deal with.
“Well then, Lady Selina, I’ll look for a garden party dress that suits you in the meantime!”
